3/9ST: s/s Cubs @ TX & SD @ Cubs, 2:05CT, CSN Chicago

[CubColtPacer]

DeRosa grounded into a DP to end the top half of the first in the game against Texas.

[Rob]

Kouzmanoff high flyball right over Soriano's head. Not a great read by Soriano, but it would have been tough anyway. Double.

 

McAnulty grounder up the middle for a single, Kouzmanoff scores.

[RichHillIsABeast]

I think we might actually miss Pierre in CF. :(

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Thanks to everyone offering some pbp. No expectations on time commitment. Any info is appreciated. If I ever see you I'll buy you a ... scotch and cheers to Bill Brasky? Thanks again.

[Rob]

Hill makes LaForest look silly with a series of curves. Strikeout swinging.

[RichHillIsABeast]

The dude thought he kd on a 2nd strike and then hill double dips and dude wiffs again.

[Jerry Mumphrey]

Yeah, I'm sorry but Soriano's bat is worth more as a bad 2nd baseman than as a really bad CF.

He'll be fine in CF.

Muy excellente!

[CubColtPacer]

Cotts gives up 2 hits in the first, but Teixeira grounds into a double play to end the first with Texas scoring no runs.

[Rob]

I accept the offer of scotch, by the way. You should have started offering lower, though... I probably would have settled for a shot of mouthwash.

Aramis with a liner right to Mike Cameron. 1 Down.

[Rob]

Jacque takes three balls in a row low and away. Watches a strike high and outside. Pops an outside pitch up into foul territory in the 3rd base stands... and again... Strikes out swinging at ball four low and away.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Nice eye, Jacque. :lol:

[Rob]

Barrett takes a breaking pitch for a strike. Can't stop on a check swing. Lines an outside pitch into right field for a single.

[AlwaysaCub]

Hey guys. I just turned on the Comcast broadcast. Who is replacing Brenly for this game? The voice sounds familiar, I just can't place it.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Extend that man!

[salukifudd]

Dan Pleasac?

[treebird]

dan plesac sure likes to talk a lot

[Rob]

Coats fouls off a pitch low and away. Takes a ball low and inside. Takes a ball low and outside. Pulls a little fliner into right almost exactly where Barrett's landed. Runners on 1st and 2nd.
